Surviving in the chaos of battle, I'm grinding for proficiency.

"Thank you, Master," Li Chuan said, clasping his hands in thanks. "I am also deeply saddened by Junior Brother Qin's death!"

Liang Xingzhou recalled the scene of Qin Feng and Li Chuan making up not long ago, and sighed heavily again.

"Ah Feng is gone; the dead cannot return." After saying this, Liang Xingzhou stared straight at Li Chuan.

Li Chuan knew that what he was about to say was the key point.

"As you know, you're the only one in the martial arts school who has a chance to break through to the Transformation Realm right now."

Liang Xingzhou pondered for a moment:

"I wish to take you as my true disciple. What is your opinion?"

"From now on, your Blood Strengthening Pill quota will double to six pills per month."

"Every five days, you should come to my courtyard, and I will guide you in practicing stance training and boxing techniques."

"With this title, even the top-level experts from various factions won't dare to attack you. You'll only have to face battles between those of the same realm."

Looking at Li Chuan's tall and upright figure, Liang Xingzhou's expression was somewhat complicated.

He was getting old, and the disciples of Songfeng Martial Arts School were also facing a shortage of young talent.

If a suitable successor cannot be found, this tradition may be cut short in his hands.

Recalling Li Chuan's past extraordinary performances, Liang Xingzhou pondered for a long time before finally deciding to place a heavy bet on Li Chuan.

As a warrior who had spent his entire life fighting, he knew very well that sometimes there is only one chance.

If you can't hold onto it, you'll never have it again.

Li Chuan paused for a moment, then suddenly knelt on the ground:

"This disciple pays respects to Master Liang!"

Liang Xingzhou stroked his beard with satisfaction, picked up a dried persimmon, took a bite, and seemed to be in a much better mood.

He got up and called over all the inner court disciples to announce the news.

Tang Xiang stared at Li Chuan, his expression somewhat dazed.

Just a few months ago, Li Chuan was only at the bottom of the martial arts school, at the Dark Strength level.

But I never expected that in such a short time, he would have surpassed him.

Even though he held the title of "Senior Brother," everyone knew that the true core of the martial arts school had shifted from Qin Feng to Li Chuan.

From now on, the only person Liang Shi will focus on cultivating will be Li Chuan.

Luo Zheng seemed very happy, not because Li Chuan's promotion would benefit him in any way.

It was just a heartfelt reaction to seeing my friend doing well.

The remaining few conspicuous disciples all stepped forward to chat with Li Chuan.

Even though they were admitted to the hospital earlier, their address quietly changed to "Senior Brother Li".

His words were now filled with respect, no longer the same as the previous peers.

Jiang Ting remained silent, her expression one of deep resentment.

In just one short day, Qin Feng died, and Li Chuan became Master Liang's true disciple.

This shows that her investment was a complete failure!

Qin Feng, who placed a large bet, is gone, while Li Chuan, who didn't place a bet, has gone up!

For a moment, she even felt a little short of breath.

However, Jiang Ting quickly regained her composure, her eyes shining with a defiant spirit.

So what if it's a genuine transmission?

As long as Li Chuan doesn't break through to the Transformation Realm, she won't lose!

As for Li Chuan's chances of breaking through to the Transformation Realm... that's something everyone knows.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ting's mood immediately improved a lot.

In the distance, Li Chuan chatted with the crowd with a smile, neither overly enthusiastic nor aloof.

Everything was just right, making people feel comfortable.

After a brief conversation, Li Chuan walked towards the outer courtyard.

On the way, his mind was in turmoil.

He had anticipated everything that was about to happen.

But Liang Xingzhou was the only one who directly accepted him as a true disciple, which was something he never expected.

After all... to accept someone with inferior aptitude, someone who seems to have no hope of passing the three trials, as a true disciple.

That takes a lot of courage.

But this is indeed a good thing for him!

First of all, the benefits will be doubled, with six Blood Strengthening Pills every month, which is twelve taels of silver!

Moreover, there are no buyers even though the price is right.

Secondly, Liang Xingzhou received special "extra tutoring".

Previously, this privilege was reserved for Qin Feng, but now it is being used by him.

It is important to know that having a master of internal energy personally guide you is very helpful for the cultivation of martial arts.

Li Chuan had received guidance from Liang Xingzhou several times, and each time his proficiency improved significantly.

If he gets extra training every five days, the time it takes him to break through to the Transformation Realm will only be shortened!

This is another step closer!

Moreover, and most importantly, once this true disciple's reputation spreads, other experts at the Transformation Realm will have to be much more cautious if they want to make a move against him.

If you kill my true disciple today, I can kill your legitimate son tomorrow.

Despite this deterrent effect, Anning County still maintains its "rules".

As long as you don't do anything reckless, you don't need to worry about being attacked by a master of internal energy.

This is arguably the most important of the three benefits, and also the one that attracted Li Chuan the most.

On his way to find Li Qing, Li Chuan noticed that many outer court disciples were looking at him differently.

In the past, although he had won the only "Martial Arts Scholar" title in the martial arts school.

However, many people believe that Qin Feng is actually superior to him.

But now...

Qin Feng also wanted to outdo him, but he was already dead.

Wherever he went, his disciples practicing their skills would respectfully make way for him.

Flattering words were constantly heard.

Many clever disciples were racking their brains trying to figure out how to please him.

Li Chuan felt a mix of emotions:

"In this world, people always respect the clothes first and then the person. Once you put on the robe of 'true teachings,' your status will be completely different."

Thinking this, Li Chuan walked to a wooden stake and smiled:

"Looking north, elder brother."

Zhuang Beiwang has already passed the test once and is now teaching Li Qing how to feel the flow of internal energy.

Upon seeing Li Chuan, he quickly turned around, his face beaming with a bright smile:

"Senior Brother Li, or should we call him True Disciple Li?"

He was overjoyed to learn that Li Chuan had become a true disciple!

He was already feeling somewhat heavy-hearted because of Qin Feng's death.

But unexpectedly, Qin Feng's death brought about such a turning point.

If he weren't afraid of being scolded, he would have shouted "Good riddance!"

After all, he was the first person to curry favor with Li Chuan and was also the one most trusted by Li Chuan.

The higher Li Chuan's position, the higher his position!

By now, he can be described as having "power to command".

Even disciples with stronger cultivation levels than him had to treat him with utmost respect.

You have to consider the "owner" before you beat a dog!

Li Chuan smirked. Zhuang Beiwang might not be good at other things, but he was first-rate at flattery.

He ignored him and looked directly at Li Qing:

"Brother, how's your blood and qi replenishment going?"

When this was mentioned, Li Qing scratched his head, a smile on his face:

"The savings are almost full; we'll be able to make our first attempt soon."

Li Chuan nodded.

In just two months, my blood and energy have almost been replenished.

With ample nutritional support, Li Qing's progress was much faster than when he was cultivating on his own.

He was naturally delighted.

The stronger Li Qing is, the more at ease he will feel when he leaves Anning County.

"Then Beiwang, you can practice with my brother some more. I'll head back now."

Just as Li Chuan was about to say goodbye, he caught a whiff of floral fragrance.

"Ouch!" A beautiful female disciple was about to fall down in front of Li Chuan.
